Hi,
I'm wondering where I can source the Siemens BS11 firmware. It looks
like OpenBSC is not providing any firmware images.
# bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0
bs11_config (C) 2009-2010 by Harald Welte and Dieter Spaar
This is FREE SOFTWARE with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY
LMT LOGON: ACK
PHASE: 1 Software required Abis-link: Down
No valid Safety Load file "BTSBMC76.SWI"
Thanks,
Andrew

I wonder where you got a BS-11 [in 2018] without firmware installed :P
It looks like OpenBSC is not providing any firmware
images.
How could we? The firmware is a copyrighted work and property of
Siemens and/or third parties. To my knowledge, it was made available
only under NDA. Even without NDA, distributing it is copyright
infringement.
It sucks, but that's unfortunately the situation :(
Regards,
Harald

Hi Harald,
I wasn’t asking for anyone to distribute copyrighted software. I’m wondering if anyone
knows a vendor that still sells it or another legal place to acquire the firmware.
Thanks,
Andrew
